My little boy has been attending the nursery for over a year and the progress he has made during his time there is incredible. He absolutely loves going to nursery every morning and runs in and I always walk away happy knowing he’s going to be cared for so well and he’ll have the best day. All of the
staff are so attentive and let me know about his day and sending photos etc. so I’m at ease knowing he’s having a lovely time. The only issue I ever have is getting him out of there to go home as he’s having too much fun. All of the food is prepared fresh and always a good variety, with extra options available if they don’t like it. Prior to here, he attended another nursery and this one is head and shoulders above it! Honestly couldn’t recommend the nursery enough!

Amazing nursery! Wouldn't think of my child being anywhere else. The staff go above and beyond for each child and for us parents! Always kept up to date on the day and always so much going on for the children.
Would continue to support and recommend Home From Home even when my child moves onto school.
All doing an amazing job.

Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is a fabulous place for my little boy to play and learn, he's always coming home with beautiful craft, new words and a smile. What more could you want? I can't thank the staff enough for all that they do for him and all of the other children too. They're so
kind, caring and will always keep me updated throughout the day via the app, which I love as I get photo updates too. The facilities are fabulous, the food always sounds lovely and the updated gardens look amazing. The nursery celebrate the special days throughout the year such as St David's Day, Chinese New year and Diwali. This gives the children a chance to learn about other cultures as well as their own, which I think is lovely. Charity days are also celebrated where the nursery holds fun days to raise money for good causes. Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is definitely a nursery I would recommend and I'm so glad I chose to bring my little boy here.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 9 months old, he is now 3 and has done amazingly well during his time within the nursery upstairs and downstairs. He loved every single member of the staff and talks about them regularly at home. His development from being at the nursery is outstanding and
I thank all the staff for that. I am happy when I drop him off in the morning knowing he is in safe hands. The new developments made to the downstairs and grounds are fantastic to the children's needs. I used to go there as a child when it was a chapel and also my parents were married there so seeing it now, it's is great to see some original parts still within the building and hasn't lost that history.
Highly recommend this day nursery.

Staff are incredibly caring and my daughter absolutely loves going there. She always has some fun story to tell and has made a load of new friends. They have just updated an outdoor area which is looking lovely.


I really can't say enough about how impressed I am with staff and how they are helping

my daughter's progression.

A really lovely nursery, I have no reservations sending my son in knowing he is in good hands. It's a lovely, large child friendly space and kids are taken out regularly for small walks. A good mix of free play, chilling out and structured activities. Staff are wonderful with the kids and it is a joy
collecting my son at the end of the day and hearing a little bit about what he has been up to.

My little man has attended here full time since three months old and is now 18 months old and he has loved every minute!
The staff are so friendly and they really do care about each and every child they look after. They are equally as happy to see my little one in the morning as he is to see them.
It’s all just lovely.
My son comes home with some masterpieces that he’s made throughout the day, and the regular pics of him enjoying his day really do put my mind at ease whilst working full time.
The name is so appropriate because my little one really does feel like it’s his home from home.

As a father, the early development of my daughter is of the utmost importance to me. On that note, I am extremely happy with how well my daughter is able to communicate and interact with others and that is in part to how well she is taught at Home From Home. She often names all the girls and babies
she has seen in the day, with a huge smile on her face. I particularly like the detail of the daily diary and the lovely cards, etc. she brings home for us. I don’t get to pick my daughter up often, but when I do, the girls are always very friendly and take the time and effort to explain in detail what my daughter has been doing. Finally, I would also like to note that Home From Home takes security extremely seriously, which is fantastic from a parents point of view.

An amazing nursery with a fantastic bunch of girls and managers. My little boy has attended this nursery since he was three months old. The managers are very accommodating with any requests you may have. The nursery has a range of children's equipment and toys to suit all ages. I am given a diary at
the end of each day with all the important information I may need to know, such as what my child has eaten and how much he has eaten, when he has been to the toilet, if he's had a nap, what activities he had taken part in, and any other relevant information I may need to know. My child loves going into nursery and is always very well looked after.

The nursery is absolutely fantastic. My son enjoys his time at nursery and he loves the staff. The staff have been fantastic and encourage my son to be the best he can be. My son loves to learn and the staff have supported him in his development and met his needs. The staff are more than approachable
and have dealt with any query I have in a professional manner. I trust the staff to care for my son and meet his needs and more when he is at nursery.

My daughter has attended this nursery for almost a year and I'm extremely happy and confident with how kind and caring the staff are to her. She has additional needs but has come on so much from being at this nursery. The owner is extremely helpful and is always going the extra mile to support my daughter
and myself that we are forever grateful. The staff show so much attention, love and affection to every child and my daughter is always happy there! Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.986)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.986) out of 10 for Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.986 for Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.986

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Home From Home Children's Day Nursery Ltd is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
